ABSTRACT:
A wheelchair carrier for attachment to the rear of a motor vehicle comprises a housing containing two vertical slide bars mounting a cross member therebetween for vertical displacement, a pair of rearwardly extending projections mounted on the cross member and a winch cable attached to the cross member to effect motorized vertical movement thereof. The projections can be inserted through appropriate openings in a wheelchair and the winch activated to lift the wheelchair under a hood contained on the housing. The hood is structured so as to inhibit sliding of the wheelchair from the projections and thus prevent removal of the wheelchair from the carrier. A strap may be disposed about the wheelchair to hold it in secure engagement within the housing for transportation by the motor vehicle.
